I suspect there was pressure from lenders for this firm to get their act together. What better way to regain their confidence than to hire the chief judge?
Don’t be surprised if judges are more careful on cases involving the former judge’s associates; and they also be jealous.
more likely they will give him a free pass or he is more there for the next test case about to go up on appeal. The foclosure mills need cover for their fraud. I doubt he will be doing the small potato cases, he is there for credibility and as a lobbyist.
I had to laugh! Have you read the Rolling Stone article about the rocket docket in Jacksonville FL? Those judges aren’t even reading all the case info before making decisions.!
